As expected, the Zuiko optics are exemplary for this 100–400mm equivalent. Our SQF charts show excellent sharpness even at the longest focal length—impressive.
Don't include this $1200 (street) tool in the large class of 55-200mm f/4.5-5.6 lenses from other lensmakers. Though it has a similar range, the Olympus Zuiko 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 is much more a pro's lens than those slower kit zooms. On an Olympus or Panasonic Four Thirds DSLR, it converts to a 100-400mm equivalent, making it one of the brightest and most compact lenses to reach 400mm.
